Hi! I am a switchboard operator by day, painter by night. I admire you for your musical inclination. OH, I wish I wish I wish I could play an instrument, I have tried but I have no talent for it. I can carry a note carefully, but as much as I love music I just can't produce it. Thank you for being brave and putting yourself out there. If you make the decision to get banded then I hope you are as happy with it as I am with mine.

Those dogs are the cutest. I have to get a dog. I have been looking for the perfect one but we haven't found each other yet.

I paid 4000 from savings, borrowed 4000 from my mom, and took out a loan for the rest.

Look its tuesday and I'm down 1.5lbs already. Yay! Next weekend I will just have to lock myself outside where there is no fridge.

I have noticed that we certain months and years have names, such as the shrinking violets and such, and I was wondering if anyone was interested in doing this for our month, year? If so do you have any name suggestions we could vote on (if anyone is interested.)

o cool i like it

looking good. and good for you for being brave.

I am going to wait a little longer on salads but I hope that the salad problem doesn't last long for you. OH I looove salads.

good buy kat

I am so happy for you. I bet that was a great feeling. Congratulations!

You look beautiful

I know thats right.

olgi- Im sorry about the set back. But I think your doing the right thing. Healing is important, at this stage I think more important than the scales. We can both really really focus on our weight loss soon

I am staying on plan today because the weekend didn't go so well

thanks travelgirl.

banded 2/27 and don't weigh myself often but when I went to the doctor on the 13th I had lost 19lbs.

I am staying on plan today because to not is to digress and I need progress.

That is awesome and YOU are awesome chocolate

Also, what's with the short shirts??? I want something a little longer than my belly button. The shirts are too short and the pants are too long. Who are they using as models??? So, yeah...I'm a little peeved, too. Yes Yes Yes! I have to wear a suit to work and all the jacket are waaaay to short. I have short short legs, a longer torso, and a stick out belly. I need something with a little length.

We just got an avenue. I went there for the first time yesterday and got a shirt for 13 dollars. I was so happy.

Keep your head up. My Doctor said the first 6 weeks is really the hardest. So get passed the first six weeks and examine how you feel after you have lost a few lbs and can eat some "real" food. I think you will feel better. Are you an emotional eater? If you are your body and mind is probabley looking for a new way to deal with the stress you are under (from everyday life and from having surgery) and trying to find a new way to deal with it. We are here for you.

Oh I love it San Antonio, TX it is lovely there. Congrats on the first game, did you win?

I am two weeks and 2 days post-op and I have lost 19 lbs.

I told all my friends, all my family, and one person at work and the next thing I know this lady who I have said nothing but Hello at work too comes up to me and tells me she heard I was having WLS which I have NO problem with, but then asked me who my Dr was and started telling me horror stories that her '"friend" in the "medical Field" told her about the surgery and esp. my surgeon. Thankfully, I had done a lot of research on the right Dr and hospital and the surgery so it didn't affect me too badly...still it was a horrible thing to do to someone who is having surgery in two days. Now she keeps asking me questions about the surgery. I think she was just jealous, being a larger women herself. When she was just done I lied and told her thanks for the info and I will really think about what she said. I haven't been working here long and wanted to avoid confrontation. Everyone else has been super supportive. At home, and at work. They ask me how I'm doing and stuff like that. My friends and family couldn't have been better.

Happy Anniversary Happy Anniversary to you. Happy Anniversary May all your dreams come true HEY!
